Dr. Anthony Fauci’s recent claim that he has no regrets about anything he has done in his career brought a savage rejoinder from Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky.
This from westernjournal.com.
During a recent interview, Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was asked if, as he prepares to retire, there was anything he would do over.
Fauci told The Washington Post:
I’m the first to admit I’m far from perfect, but when you say do over, you know, I really can’t see something that I would do completely over.
Senator Paul took issue with that comment during an interview on the Fox News show Jesse Watters Primetime, and said:
Likely there is no public figure, or public health figure, that has made a greater error in judgment than Dr. Fauci.
He continued:
The error in judgment was to fund gain-of-function research in a totalitarian country—fund research that allowed them to create super viruses that, in all likelihood, accidentally leaked into the public and caused seven million people to die.
And Paul added:
Think about it. This is right up there with decisions, some of them malevolent or military, to kill millions of people. This is accidental, but it goes to judgment.
Senator Paul continued:
Talk about errors, you think he might apologize to the world for funding research that allowed super-viruses to be created in a lab—a lab that was not properly outfitted for safety, that people were already reporting was dangerous—to support that kind of research, and then to look the other way and say, ‘Nothing to see here,’ and to cover it up.
For the last two years, he’s been covering his tracks, but we’ve caught him red-handed and he won’t get away.
Paul, not holding back, slammed Fauci for going into the history books—for all the wrong reasons.
He said:
Historically, he will be remembered for one of the worst judgments in the history of modern medicine.
Paul said when he won re-election that a COVID-19 probe is very much on his mind.
According to Fox News, Paul said:
According to WKYU-FM, Paul called his post-election celebration:
Dr. Fauci’s retirement party.
He added:
Are you listening Dr. Fauci? No bureaucrat should be above the law.
No bureaucrat should be allowed to deny information to Congress, and no bureaucrat should be allowed to lie to Congress.
In an interview Sunday with CBS, Fauci said he is the victim if political attacks.
Fauci said:
[T]hey’ve clearly politicized it. You know they say that—I’m not political at all, period. I’ve never been and anybody who knows anything about me knows that that’s the case. But it is very clear when people are running their campaigns with an anti-Fauci element to it. I mean, that’s ridiculous.
Will Dr. Fauci be remembered as the twenty-first century’s Dr. Mengele a.k.a. the Angel of Death?
Please do not be deterred, Senator Paul.
Final thoughts: God speed to Conservatism and to Retribution. For with Retribution comes Deterrence. And with Deterrence comes Security.
